Biography
Abdul Wali was born in Pakistan to a family of Sunni Muslim Pashtuns, and in 2007 he joined Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan during their insurgency against the government. That year, he took over an anti-colonialist fighter's shrine in Ghazi Abad and transformed it into a mosque, and in July 2008 he emerged as the top Taliban commander in the Mohmand Agency. In August 2014, however, Khalid was expelled by Maulana Fazlullah for forming dubious organizations, so he founded the Jamaat-ul-Ahrar terrorist group that was responsible for the 2014 Peshawar school attack that left over 140 people dead. In March 2015, he decided to rejoin the TTP.
